REFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY

The content of the sequence listing electronically submitted with the application as an ASCII text file (Name: 20171219_NB41228WOPCT_ST25; Size: 15.3 KB; Created: Dec. 19, 2017) forms part of the application and is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Serine proteases are enzymes (EC No. 3.4.21) possessing an active site serine that initiates hydrolysis of peptide bonds of proteins. There are two broad categories of serine proteases, based on their structure: chymotrypsin-like (trypsin-like) and subtilisin-like. The prototypical subtilisin (EC No. 3.4.21.62) was initially obtained from B. subtilis. Subtilisins and their homologues are members of the S8 peptidase family of the MEROPS classification scheme. Members of family S8 have a catalytic triad in the order Asp, His and Ser in their amino acid sequence.

Although serine proteases have long been known in the art of industrial enzymes, there remains a need for further serine proteases that are suitable for particular conditions and uses.

The present variants, compositions and methods relate to recombinant serine proteases variants, compositions comprising such variants and methods related thereto. Compositions containing the B. gibsonii-clade serine proteases disclosed herein are suitable for use in cleaning fabrics and hard surfaces, as well as in a variety of industrial applications.

In yet a still further embodiment, one or more subtilisin variant described herein has an increase in HDL, egg stain, and/or crème brûlée stain cleaning activity when compared to the HDL, egg stain, and/or crème brûlée stain cleaning activity of a protease with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1

Some embodiments are directed to a method of cleaning, comprising contacting a surface or an item with one or more subtilisin variant described herein or one or more composition described herein. In further embodiments, the method of cleaning is directed to a method of cleaning a crème brûlée stain or an egg yolk stain, or both.

Still further embodiments are directed to a polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding one or more subtilisin variant described herein.

Described herein are variants, compositions and methods relating to recombinant serine proteases. Compositions containing the serine proteases disclosed herein are suitable for use in cleaning fabrics and hard surfaces, as well as in a variety of industrial applications, such as, for example, textile, leather and feather processing. At least one serine protease disclosed herein is also well suited for inclusion in compositions for protein degradation, including but not limited to laundry and dishwashing detergents; personal care compositions; and human food and animal feed.

Prior to describing the present compositions and methods in detail, the following terms are defined for clarity. Terms and abbreviations not defined should be accorded their ordinary meaning as used in the art. Unless defined otherwise herein, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. Unless otherwise indicated, the practice of the present disclosure involves conventional techniques commonly used in molecular biology, protein engineering, and microbiology. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein find use in the practice of the present disclosure, some suitable methods and materials are described herein. The terms defined immediately below are more fully described by reference to the Specification as a whole.

As used herein, the singular “a,” “an” and “the” includes the plural unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Unless otherwise indicated, nucleic acid sequences are written left to right in 5′ to 3′ orientation; and amino acid sequences are written left to right in amino to carboxy orientation. It is to be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the particular methodology, protocols, and reagents described herein, absent an indication to the contrary.

It is intended that every maximum numerical limitation given throughout this Specification includes every lower numerical limitation, as if such lower numerical limitations were expressly written herein. Every minimum numerical limitation given throughout this Specification will include every higher numerical limitation, as if such higher numerical limitations were expressly written herein. Every numerical range given throughout this Specification will include every narrower numerical range that falls within such broader numerical range, as if such narrower numerical ranges were all expressly written herein.

As used herein in connection with a numerical value, the term “about” refers to a range of +/−0.5 of the numerical value, unless the term is otherwise specifically defined in context. For instance, the phrase a “pH value of about 6” refers to pH values of from 5.5 to 6.5, unless the pH value is specifically defined otherwise.

The amino acid substitutions described herein use one or more following nomenclatures: position; position: amino acid substitution(s); or starting amino acid:position:amino acid substitution(s). Reference to only a “position” (i.e. 5, 8, 17, 22, etc) encompasses any starting amino acid that may be present in a reference polypeptide, parent or wild-type molecule at that position and any amino acid with which such starting amino acid may be substituted (i.e., amino acid substitutions exclude the starting amino acid of such reference polypeptide, parent or wild-type molecule). Reference to a position can be recited several forms, for example, position 003 can also be referred to as position 3. Reference to an amino acid substitution may be further expressed as several substituted amino acids separated by a foreslash (“/”). For example, D275S/K indicates position 275 is substituted with serine (S) or lysine (K). By way of further example, S101F/G/H/T/V represents five possible substitutions at position 101, wherein the starting amino acid serine (S) can be substituted with a phenylalanine (F), glycine (G), histidine (H), threonine (T), or valine (V). Reference to an X as the amino acid in a position, refers to any amino acid at the recited position.

The position of an amino acid residue in a given amino acid sequence is numbered by correspondence with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1. That is, the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 serves as a reference sequence. For example, the amino acid sequence of a B. gibsonii-clade subtilisin, which is further described in International Patent Application No. PCT/US2014/070107 filed Jun. 17, 2016, or one or more subtilisin variant described herein is aligned with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 using an alignment algorithm as described herein, and each amino acid residue in the given amino acid sequence that aligns (preferably optimally aligns) with an amino acid residue in SEQ ID NO:1 is conveniently numbered by reference to the numerical position of that corresponding amino acid residue. Sequence alignment algorithms, such as, for example, described herein will identify the location where insertions or deletions occur in a subject sequence when compared to a query sequence.

The term “mutation” refers to any change or alteration in an amino acid sequence, including the substitution of an amino acid at the identified position of an amino acid sequence with an amino acid that is different from the starting amino acid, deletion of an amino acid at the identified position of an amino acid sequence, insertion of an amino acid at the identified position of an amino acid sequence, replacement of an amino acid side chain in an amino acid sequence, and or chemical modification of an amino acid sequence.

The terms, “wild-type” or “parental” with respect to a polypeptide, refer to a naturally-occurring polypeptide that does not include a man-made substitution, insertion, or deletion at one or more amino acid positions. Similarly, the terms “wild-type” or “parental,”, with respect to a polynucleotide, refer to a naturally-occurring polynucleotide that does not include a man-made substitution, insertion, or deletion at one or more nucleosides. A polynucleotide encoding a wild-type or parental polypeptide is, however, not limited to a naturally-occurring polynucleotide, and encompasses any polynucleotide encoding the wild-type or parental polypeptide.

The term “naturally-occurring” refers to, for example, a sequence and residues contained therein (e.g., polypeptide sequence and amino acids contained therein or nucleic acid sequence and nucleic acids contained therein) that are found in nature. Conversely, the term “non-naturally occurring” refers to, for example, a sequence and residues contained therein (e.g., polypeptide sequences and amino acids contained therein or nucleic acid sequence and nucleic acids contained therein) that are not found in nature.

Unless otherwise indicated, the term “reference”, with respect to a polypeptide of the present disclosure refers to the polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1. In one embodiment, the position of an amino acid residue in a given amino acid sequence is numbered by correspondence with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1. In other embodiments, the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 serves as a reference polypeptide for comparison to the subtilisin variant of the present disclosure in stability and performance assays.

The terms “protease” and “proteinase” refer to an enzyme that has the ability to break down proteins and peptides. A protease has the ability to conduct “proteolysis,” by hydrolysis of peptide bonds that link amino acids together in a peptide or polypeptide chain forming the protein. This activity of a protease as a protein-digesting enzyme is referred to as “proteolytic activity.” Many well-known procedures exist for measuring proteolytic activity. For example, proteolytic activity may be ascertained by comparative assays that analyze the respective protease's ability to hydrolyze a suitable substrate. Exemplary substrates useful in the analysis of protease or proteolytic activity, include, but are not limited to, di-methyl casein (Sigma C-9801), bovine collagen (Sigma C-9879), bovine elastin (Sigma E-1625), and bovine keratin (ICN Biomedical 902111). Colorimetric assays utilizing these substrates are well known in the art (See e.g., WO99/34011 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,376,450). The pNA peptidyl assay (See e.g., Del Mar et al., Anal Biochem, 99:316-320, 1979) also finds use in determining the active enzyme concentration. This assay measures the rate at which p-nitroaniline is released as the enzyme hydrolyzes a soluble synthetic substrate, such as succinyl-alanine-alanine-proline-phenylalanine-p-nitroanilide (suc-AAPF-pNA). The rate of production of yellow color from the hydrolysis reaction is measured at 410 nm on a spectrophotometer and is proportional to the active enzyme concentration. In addition, absorbance measurements at 280 nanometers (nm) can be used to determine the total protein concentration in a sample of purified protein. The activity on substrate/protein concentration gives the enzyme specific activity.

The phrase “subtilisin variant” refers to a recombinant polypeptide that is derived from a parent or reference polypeptide by the substitution, insertion, or deletion, of one or more amino acids.

The phrase “the genus Bacillus” includes all species within the genus “Bacillus,” as known to those of skill in the art, including but not limited to B. subtilis, B. licheniformis, B. lentus, B. brevis, B. stearothermophilus, B. alkalophilus, B. amyloliquefaciens, B. clausii, B. halodurans, B. megaterium, B. coagulans, B. circulans, B. lautus, B. gibsonii, B. pabuli, B. cereus, B. agaradhaerens, B akibai, B. clarkii, and B. thuringiensis. It is recognized that the genus Bacillus continues to undergo taxonomical reorganization. Thus, it is intended that the genus include species that have been reclassified, including but not limited to such organisms as B. stearothermophilus, which is now named “Geobacillus stearothermophilus.” The production of resistant endospores under stressful environmental conditions is considered the defining feature of the genus Bacillus, although this characteristic also applies to the recently named Alicyclobacillus, Amphibacillus, Aneurinibacillus, Anoxybacillus, Brevibacillus, Filobacillus, Gracilibacillus, Halobacillus, Paenibacillus, Salibacillus, Thermobacillus, Ureibacillus, and Virgibacillus.

The term “vector” refers to a nucleic acid construct used to introduce or transfer nucleic acid(s) into a target cell or tissue. A vector is typically used to introduce foreign DNA into a cell or tissue. Vectors include plasmids, cloning vectors, bacteriophages, viruses (e.g., viral vector), cosmids, expression vectors, shuttle vectors, and the like. A vector typically includes an origin of replication, a multicloning site, and a selectable marker. The process of inserting a vector into a target cell is typically referred to as transformation. The present invention includes, in some embodiments, a vector that comprises a DNA sequence encoding a serine protease polypeptide (e.g., precursor or mature serine protease polypeptide) that is operably linked to a suitable prosequence (e.g., secretory, signal peptide sequence, etc.) capable of effecting the expression of the DNA sequence in a suitable host, and the folding and translocation of the recombinant polypeptide chain.

The term “expression” refers to the transcription and stable accumulation of sense (mRNA) or anti-sense RNA, derived from a nucleic acid molecule of the disclosure. Expression may also refer to translation of mRNA into a polypeptide. Thus, the term “expression” includes any step involved in the “production of the polypeptide” including, but not limited to, transcription, post-transcriptional modifications, translation, post-translational modifications, secretion and the like.

The phrases “increased expression of a subtilisin variant”, “increased production of a subtilisin variant” and “increased productivity of a subtilisin variant” are used interchangeably and refer to an increase in the yield of the subtilisin (variant) polypeptide as isolated or secreted from a recombinant host cell in which a polynucleotide encoding the subtilisin variant has been introduced (e.g., via transformation). More particularly, as used herein the phrases “increased expression of a subtilisin variant” or “increased production of a subtilisin variant” refer to an increase in the yield (i.e., protein productivity) of a specific subtilisin variant (polypeptide) as isolated or secreted from a recombinant host cell (i.e., into which a polynucleotide encoding the subtilisin variant has been introduced), where the “increase” in yield of the subtilisin variant polypeptide is relative (vis-à-vis) to a reference (control) subtilisin polypeptide as isolated or secreted from an analogous recombinant host cell (into which the polynucleotide encoding the reference (control) subtilisin polypeptide has been introduced). For example, a first polynucleotide encoding a subtilisin variant polypeptide of the disclosure and a second polynucleotide encoding a reference (control) subtilisin can be transformed into a population of host cells (i.e., a host cell population of the same genus, species, and genetic background). Subsequently, host cell transformants comprising the first polynucleotide and host cell transformants comprising the second polynucleotide are grown/cultured under identical conditions, and the amount of the subtilisin variant polypeptide and the reference (control) subtilisin polypeptide expressed/produced from the host cells are compared vis-à-vis each other (e.g., via protein concentration or subtilisin activity measurements).

The term “expression cassette,” “expression plasmid” or “expression vector” refers to a nucleic acid construct or vector generated recombinantly or synthetically for the expression of a nucleic acid of interest in a target cell. An expression vector or expression cassette typically comprises a promoter nucleotide sequence that drives expression of the foreign nucleic acid. The expression vector or cassette also typically includes any other specified nucleic acid elements that permit transcription of a particular nucleic acid in a target cell. A recombinant expression cassette can be incorporated into a plasmid, chromosome, mitochondrial DNA, plastid DNA, virus, or nucleic acid fragment. Many prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression vectors are commercially available.

The term “plasmid” refers to an extrachromosomal DNA molecule which is capable of replicating independently from the chromosomal DNA. A plasmid is double stranded (ds) and may be circular and is typically used as a cloning vector.

As used herein in the context of introducing a nucleic acid sequence into a cell, the term “introduced” refers to any method suitable for transferring the nucleic acid sequence into the cell. Such methods for introduction include but are not limited to protoplast fusion, transfection, transformation, electroporation, conjugation, and transduction. Transformation refers to the genetic alteration of a cell which results from the uptake, optional genomic incorporation, and expression of genetic material (e.g., DNA).

As used herein, a nucleic acid is “operably linked” with another nucleic acid sequence when it is placed into a functional relationship with another nucleic acid sequence. For example, a promoter or enhancer is operably linked to a nucleotide coding sequence if the promoter affects the transcription of the coding sequence. A ribosome binding site may be operably linked to a coding sequence if it is positioned so as to facilitate translation of the coding sequence. Typically, “operably linked” DNA sequences are contiguous. However, enhancers do not have to be contiguous. Linking is accomplished by ligation at convenient restriction sites. If such sites do not exist, synthetic oligonucleotide adaptors or linkers may be used in accordance with conventional practice.

The term “gene” refers to a polynucleotide (e.g., a DNA segment), that encodes a polypeptide and includes regions preceding and following the coding regions. In some instances, a gene includes intervening sequences (introns) between individual coding segments (exons).

The term “recombinant” when used with reference to a cell typically indicates that the cell has been modified by the introduction of a foreign nucleic acid sequence or that the cell is derived from a cell so modified. For example, a recombinant cell may comprise a gene not found in identical form within the native (non-recombinant) form of the cell, or a recombinant cell may comprise a native gene (found in the native form of the cell) that has been modified and re-introduced into the cell. A recombinant cell may comprise a nucleic acid endogenous to the cell that has been modified without removing the nucleic acid from the cell; such modifications include those obtained by gene replacement, site-specific mutation, and related techniques known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Recombinant DNA technology includes techniques for the production of recombinant DNA in vitro and transfer of the recombinant DNA into cells where it may be expressed or propagated, thereby producing a recombinant polypeptide. “Recombination” and “recombining” of polynucleotides or nucleic acids refer generally to the assembly or combining of two or more nucleic acid or polynucleotide strands or fragments to generate a new polynucleotide or nucleic acid.

A nucleic acid or polynucleotide is said to “encode” a polypeptide if, in its native state or when manipulated by methods known to those of skill in the art, it can be transcribed and/or translated to produce the polypeptide or a fragment thereof. The anti-sense strand of such a nucleic acid is also said to encode the sequence.

The terms “host strain” and “host cell” refer to a suitable host for an expression vector comprising a DNA sequence of interest.

A “protein” or “polypeptide” comprises a polymeric sequence of amino acid residues. The terms “protein” and “polypeptide” are used interchangeably herein. The single and 3-letter code for amino acids as defined in conformity with the IUPAC-IUB Joint Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature (JCBN) is used throughout this disclosure. The single letter X refers to any of the twenty amino acids. It is also understood that a polypeptide may be coded for by more than one nucleotide sequence due to the degeneracy of the genetic code. Mutations can be named by the one letter code for the parent amino acid, followed by a position number and then the one letter code for the variant amino acid. For example, mutating glycine (G) at position 87 to serine (S) is represented as “G087S” or “G87S.

The terms “prosequence” or “propeptide sequence” refer to an amino acid sequence between the signal peptide sequence and mature protease sequence that is necessary for the proper folding and secretion of the protease; they are sometimes referred to as intramolecular chaperones. Cleavage of the prosequence or propeptide sequence results in a mature active protease. Bacterial serine proteases are often expressed as pro-enzymes. Examples of modified propeptides are provided, for example, in WO 2016/205710.

The terms “signal sequence” and “signal peptide” refer to a sequence of amino acid residues that may participate in the secretion or direct transport of the mature or precursor form of a protein. The signal sequence is typically located N-terminal to the precursor or mature protein sequence. The signal sequence may be endogenous or exogenous. A signal sequence is normally absent from the mature protein. A signal sequence is typically cleaved from the protein by a signal peptidase after the protein is transported.

The term “mature” when used in describing a protein, polypeptide, or peptide refers to the functional form of the protein, polypeptide, or peptide without the signal peptide sequence and propeptide sequence.

The term “precursor” when used in describing a protein or peptide refers to a mature form of the protein having a prosequence operably linked to the amino or carbonyl terminus of the protein. The precursor may also have a “signal” sequence operably linked to the amino terminus of the prosequence. The precursor may also have additional polypeptides that are involved in post-translational activity (e.g., polypeptides cleaved therefrom to leave the mature form of a protein or peptide).

As used herein with regard to amino acid residue positions, “corresponding to” or “corresponds to” or “corresponds” refers to an amino acid residue at the enumerated position in a protein or peptide, or an amino acid residue that is analogous, homologous, or equivalent to an enumerated residue in a protein or peptide. As used herein, “corresponding region” generally refers to an analogous position in a related proteins or a reference protein.

The term “derived from” encompasses the terms “originated from,” “obtained from,” “obtainable from,” “isolated from,” and “created from” and generally indicates that the specified material comes from another specified material or has features that can be described with reference to the other specified material.

The terms “derived from” and “obtained from” refer to not only a protein produced or producible by a strain of the organism in question, but also a protein encoded by a DNA sequence isolated from such strain and produced in a host organism containing such DNA sequence. Additionally, the term refers to a protein which is encoded by a DNA sequence of synthetic and/or cDNA origin and which has the identifying characteristics of the protein in question. To exemplify, “proteases derived from Bacillus” refers to those enzymes having proteolytic activity that are naturally produced by Bacillus, as well as to serine proteases like those produced by Bacillus sources but which through the use of genetic engineering techniques are produced by other host cells transformed with a nucleic acid encoding the serine proteases.

The term “identical” in the context of two polynucleotide or polypeptide sequences refers to the nucleic acids or amino acids in the two sequences that are the same when aligned for maximum correspondence, as measured using sequence comparison or analysis algorithms.

The terms “% identity”, “percent identity”, and “PID” refer to protein sequence identity. Percent identity may be determined using standard techniques known in the art. Useful algorithms include the BLAST algorithms (See, Altschul et al., J Mol Biol, 215:403-410, 1990; and Karlin and Altschul, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 90:5873-5787, 1993). The BLAST program uses several search parameters, most of which are set to the default values. The NCBI BLAST algorithm finds the most relevant sequences in terms of biological similarity but is not recommended for query sequences of less than 20 residues (Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res, 25:3389-3402, 1997; and Schaffer et al., Nucleic Acids Res, 29:2994-3005, 2001). Exemplary default BLAST parameters for a nucleic acid sequence searches include: Neighboring words threshold=11; E-value cutoff=10; Scoring Matrix=NUC.3.1 (match=1, mismatch=−3); Gap Opening=5; and Gap Extension=2. Exemplary default BLAST parameters for amino acid sequence searches include: Word size=3; E-value cutoff=10; Scoring Matrix=BLOSUM62; Gap Opening=11; and Gap extension=1. A percent (%) amino acid sequence identity value is determined by the number of matching identical residues divided by the total number of residues of the “reference” sequence including any gaps created by the program for optimal/maximum alignment. BLAST algorithms refer to the “reference” sequence as the “query” sequence.

The phrases “homologous proteins” or “homologous proteases” refer to proteins that have distinct similarity in primary, secondary, and/or tertiary structure. Protein homology can refer to the similarity in linear amino acid sequence when proteins are aligned. Homologous search of protein sequences can be done using BLASTP and PSI-BLAST from NCBI BLAST with threshold (E-value cut-off) at 0.001. (Altschul S F, Madde T L, Shaffer A A, Zhang J, Zhang Z, Miller W, Lipman D J. Gapped BLAST and PSI BLAST a new generation of protein database search programs. Nucleic Acids Res 1997 Set 1; 25(17):3389-402). Using this information, proteins sequences can be grouped. A phylogenetic tree can be built using the amino acid sequences. Amino acid sequences can be entered in a program such as the Vector NTI Advance suite and a Guide Tree can be created using the Neighbor Joining (NJ) method (Saitou and Nei, Mol Biol Evol, 4:406-425, 1987). The tree construction can be calculated using Kimura's correction for sequence distance and ignoring positions with gaps. A program such as AlignX can display the calculated distance values in parenthesis following the molecule name displayed on the phylogenetic tree.

Understanding the homology between molecules can reveal the evolutionary history of the molecules as well as information about their function; if a newly sequenced protein is homologous to an already characterized protein, there is a strong indication of the new protein's biochemical function. The most fundamental relationship between two entities is homology; two molecules are said to be homologous if they have been derived from a common ancestor. Homologous molecules, or homologs, can be divided into two classes, paralogs and orthologs. Paralogs are homologs that are present within one species. Paralogs often differ in their detailed biochemical functions. Orthologs are homologs that are present within different species and have very similar or identical functions. A protein superfamily is the largest grouping (clade) of proteins for which common ancestry can be inferred. Usually this common ancestry is based on sequence alignment and mechanistic similarity. Superfamilies typically contain several protein families which show sequence similarity within the family. The term “protein clan” is commonly used for protease superfamilies based on the MEROPS protease classification system. As used herein, the term “subtilisin” includes any member of the S8 serine protease family as described in MEROPS—The Peptidase Data base (Rawlings et al., MEROPS: the peptidase database, Nucl Acids Res, 34 Database issue, D270-272, 2006).

The CLUSTAL W algorithm is another example of a sequence alignment algorithm (See, Thompson et al., Nucleic Acids Res, 22:4673-4680, 1994). Default parameters for the CLUSTAL W algorithm include: Gap opening penalty=10.0; Gap extension penalty=0.05; Protein weight matrix=BLOSUM series; DNA weight matrix=TUB; Delay divergent sequences %=40; Gap separation distance=8; DNA transitions weight=0.50; List hydrophilic residues=GPSNDQEKR; Use negative matrix=OFF; Toggle Residue specific penalties=ON; Toggle hydrophilic penalties=ON; and Toggle end gap separation penalty=OFF. In CLUSTAL algorithms, deletions occurring at either terminus are included. For example, a variant with a five amino acid deletion at either terminus (or within the polypeptide) of a polypeptide of 500 amino acids would have a percent sequence identity of 99% (495/500 identical residues×100) relative to the “reference” polypeptide. Such a variant would be encompassed by a variant having “at least 99% sequence identity” to the polypeptide. The MUSCLE program (Robert C. Edgar. MUSCLE: multiple sequence alignment with high accuracy and high throughput Nucl. Acids Res. (2004) 32 (5): 1792-1797) is yet another example of a multiple sequence alignment algorithm.

A nucleic acid or polynucleotide is “isolated” when it is at least partially or completely separated from other components, including but not limited to for example, other proteins, nucleic acids, cells, etc. Similarly, a polypeptide, protein or peptide is “isolated” when it is at least partially or completely separated from other components, including but not limited to for example, other proteins, nucleic acids, cells, etc. On a molar basis, an isolated species is more abundant than are other species in a composition. For example, an isolated species may comprise at least about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 91%, about 92%, about 93%, about 94%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, about 99%, or about 100% (on a molar basis) of all macromolecular species present. Preferably, the species of interest is purified to essential homogeneity (i.e., contaminant species cannot be detected in the composition by conventional detection methods). Purity and homogeneity can be determined using a number of techniques well known in the art, such as agarose or polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of a nucleic acid or a protein sample, respectively, followed by visualization upon staining. If desired, a high-resolution technique, such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or a similar means can be utilized for purification of the material.

The term “purified” as applied to nucleic acids or polypeptides generally denotes a nucleic acid or polypeptide that is essentially free from other components as determined by analytical techniques well known in the art (e.g., a purified polypeptide or polynucleotide forms a discrete band in an electrophoretic gel, chromatographic eluate, and/or a media subjected to density gradient centrifugation). For example, a nucleic acid or polypeptide that gives rise to essentially one band in an electrophoretic gel is “purified.” A purified nucleic acid or polypeptide is at least about 50% pure, usually at least about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 91%, about 92%, about 93%, about 94%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, about 99%, about 99.5%, about 99.6%, about 99.7%, about 99.8% or more pure (e.g., percent by weight on a molar basis). In a related sense, a composition is enriched for a molecule when there is a substantial increase in the concentration of the molecule after application of a purification or enrichment technique. The term “enriched” refers to a compound, polypeptide, cell, nucleic acid, amino acid, or other specified material or component that is present in a composition at a relative or absolute concentration that is higher than a starting composition.

The phrase “composition(s) substantially-free of boron” or “detergent(s) substantially-free of boron” refers to composition(s) or detergent(s), respectively, that contain trace amounts of boron, for example, less than about 1000 ppm (1 mg/kg or liter equals 1 ppm), less than about 100 ppm, less than about 50 ppm, less than about 10 ppm, or less than about 5 ppm, or less than about 1 ppm, perhaps from other compositions or detergent constituents.

As used herein, the term “functional assay” refers to an assay that provides an indication of a protein's activity. In some embodiments, the term refers to assay systems in which a protein is analyzed for its ability to function in its usual capacity. For example, in the case of a protease, a functional assay involves determining the effectiveness of the protease to hydrolyze a proteinaceous substrate.

The term “cleaning activity” refers to a cleaning performance achieved by a serine protease polypeptide or reference protease under conditions prevailing during the proteolytic, hydrolyzing, cleaning, or other process of the disclosure. In some embodiments, cleaning performance of a serine protease polypeptide or reference protease may be determined by using various assays for cleaning one or more various enzyme sensitive stains on an item or surface (e.g., a stain resulting from food, grass, blood, ink, milk, oil, crème brulee, and/or egg protein). Cleaning performance of a variant or reference protease can be determined by subjecting the stain on the item or surface to standard wash condition(s) and assessing the degree to which the stain is removed by using various chromatographic, spectrophotometric, or other quantitative methodologies. Exemplary cleaning assays and methods are known in the art and include, but are not limited to those described in WO99/34011 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,605,458, both of which are herein incorporated by reference, as well as those cleaning assays and methods included in the Examples provided below.

The term “cleaning effective amount” of a serine protease polypeptide or reference protease refers to the amount of protease that achieves a desired level of enzymatic activity in a specific cleaning composition. Such effective amounts are readily ascertained by one of ordinary skill in the art and are based on many factors, such as the particular protease used, the cleaning application, the specific composition of the cleaning composition, and whether a liquid or dry (e.g., granular, tablet, bar) composition is required, etc.

The term “cleaning adjunct material” refers to any liquid, solid, or gaseous material included in cleaning composition other than a serine protease polypeptide of the disclosure. In some embodiments, the cleaning compositions of the present disclosure include one or more cleaning adjunct materials. Each cleaning adjunct material is typically selected depending on the particular type and form of cleaning composition (e.g., liquid, granule, powder, bar, paste, spray, tablet, gel, foam, or other composition). Preferably, each cleaning adjunct material is compatible with the protease enzyme used in the composition.

Cleaning compositions and cleaning formulations include any composition that is suited for cleaning, bleaching, disinfecting, and/or sterilizing any object, item, and/or surface. Such compositions and formulations include, but are not limited to for example, liquid and/or solid compositions, including cleaning or detergent compositions (e.g., liquid, tablet, gel, bar, granule, and/or solid laundry cleaning or detergent compositions and fine fabric detergent compositions; hard surface cleaning compositions and formulations, such as for glass, wood, ceramic and metal counter tops and windows; carpet cleaners; oven cleaners; fabric fresheners; fabric softeners; and textile, laundry booster cleaning or detergent compositions, laundry additive cleaning compositions, and laundry pre-spotter cleaning compositions; dishwashing compositions, including hand or manual dishwashing compositions (e.g., “hand” or “manual” dishwashing detergents) and automatic dishwashing compositions (e.g., “automatic dishwashing detergents”). Single dosage unit forms also find use with the present invention, including but not limited to pills, tablets, gelcaps, or other single dosage units such as pre-measured powders or liquids.

Cleaning composition or cleaning formulations, as used herein, include, unless otherwise indicated, granular or powder-form all-purpose or heavy-duty washing agents, especially cleaning detergents; liquid, granular, gel, solid, tablet, paste, or unit dosage form all-purpose washing agents, especially the so-called heavy-duty liquid (HDL) detergent or heavy-duty dry (HDD) detergent types; liquid fine-fabric detergents; hand or manual dishwashing agents, including those of the high-foaming type; hand or manual dishwashing, automatic dishwashing, or dishware or tableware washing agents, including the various tablet, powder, solid, granular, liquid, gel, and rinse-aid types for household and institutional use; liquid cleaning and disinfecting agents, including antibacterial hand-wash types, cleaning bars, mouthwashes, denture cleaners, car shampoos, carpet shampoos, bathroom cleaners; hair shampoos and/or hair-rinses for humans and other animals; shower gels and foam baths and metal cleaners; as well as cleaning auxiliaries, such as bleach additives and “stain-stick” or pre-treat types. In some embodiments, granular compositions are in “compact” form; in some embodiments, liquid compositions are in a “concentrated” form.

As used herein, “fabric cleaning compositions” include hand and machine laundry detergent compositions including laundry additive compositions and compositions suitable for use in the soaking and/or pretreatment of stained fabrics (e.g., clothes, linens, and other textile materials).

As used herein, “non-fabric cleaning compositions” include non-textile (i.e., non-fabric) surface cleaning compositions, including, but not limited to for example, hand or manual or automatic dishwashing detergent compositions, oral cleaning compositions, denture cleaning compositions, contact lens cleaning compositions, wound debridement compositions, and personal cleansing compositions.

The phrase “detergent composition” or “detergent formulation” is used in reference to a composition intended for use in a wash medium for the cleaning of soiled or dirty objects, including particular fabric and/or non-fabric objects or items. Such compositions of the present disclosure are not limited to any particular detergent composition or formulation. Indeed, in some embodiments, the detergents of the disclosure comprise at least one serine protease polypeptide of the disclosure and, in addition, one or more surfactants, transferase(s), hydrolytic enzymes, oxido reductases, builders (e.g., a builder salt), bleaching agents, bleach activators, bluing agents, fluorescent dyes, caking inhibitors, masking agents, enzyme stabilizers, calcium, enzyme activators, antioxidants, and/or solubilizers. In some instances, a builder salt is a mixture of a silicate salt and a phosphate salt, preferably with more silicate (e.g., sodium metasilicate) than phosphate (e.g., sodium tripolyphosphate). Some compositions of the disclosure, such as, but not limited to, cleaning compositions or detergent compositions, do not contain any phosphate (e.g., phosphate salt or phosphate builder).

The term “bleaching” refers to the treatment of a material (e.g., fabric, laundry, pulp, etc.) or surface for a sufficient length of time and/or under appropriate pH and/or temperature conditions to effect a brightening (i.e., whitening) and/or cleaning of the material. Examples of chemicals suitable for bleaching include, but are not limited to, for example, ClO₂, H₂O₂, peracids, NO₂, etc. Bleaching agents also include enzymatic bleaching agents such as perhydrolase and arylesterases. Another embodiment is directed to a composition comprising one or more subtilisin variant described herein, and one or more perhydrolase, such as, for example, is described in WO2005/056782, WO2007/106293, WO 2008/063400, WO2008/106214, and WO2008/106215.

The phrase “wash performance” of a protease (e.g., a serine protease polypeptide of the disclosure) refers to the contribution of a serine protease polypeptide to washing that provides additional cleaning performance to the detergent as compared to the detergent without the addition of the serine protease polypeptide to the composition. Wash performance is compared under relevant washing conditions. In some test systems, other relevant factors, such as detergent composition, sud concentration, water hardness, washing mechanics, time, pH, and/or temperature, can be controlled in such a way that condition(s) typical for household application in a certain market segment (e.g., hand or manual dishwashing, automatic dishwashing, dishware cleaning, tableware cleaning, fabric cleaning, etc.) are imitated.

The term “relevant washing conditions” is used herein to indicate the conditions, particularly washing temperature, time, washing mechanics, sud concentration, type of detergent and water hardness, actually used in households in a hand dishwashing, automatic dishwashing, or laundry detergent market segment.

The term “disinfecting” refers to the removal of contaminants from surfaces, as well as the inhibition or killing of microbes on the surfaces of items.

The “compact” form of the cleaning compositions herein is best reflected by density and, in terms of composition, by the amount of inorganic filler salt. Inorganic filler salts are conventional ingredients of detergent compositions in powder form. In conventional detergent compositions, the filler salts are present in substantial amounts, typically about 17 to about 35% by weight of the total composition. In contrast, in compact compositions, the filler salt is present in amounts not exceeding about 15% of the total composition. In some embodiments, the filler salt is present in amounts that do not exceed about 10%, or more preferably, about 5%, by weight of the composition. In some embodiments, the inorganic filler salts are selected from the alkali and alkaline-earth-metal salts of sulfates and chlorides. In some embodiments, the filler salt is sodium sulfate.

Some embodiments are directed to a method of cleaning, comprising contacting a surface or an item in need of cleaning with an effective amount of one or more subtilisin variant described herein or one or more composition described herein. In further embodiments, the method of cleaning described herein is directed to a method of cleaning a crème brûlée stain. In still other embodiments, the method of cleaning provided herein is directed to a method of cleaning an egg stain.

In still another embodiment, one or more subtilisin variant described herein has enzymatic activity (e.g., protease activity) and thus is useful in cleaning applications, including but not limited to, methods for cleaning dishware items, tableware items, fabrics, and items having hard surfaces (e.g., the hard surface of a table, table top, wall, furniture item, floor, ceiling, etc.). Some embodiments are directed to one or more cleaning composition comprising one or more subtilisin variant described herein. The enzymatic activity (e.g., protease enzyme activity) of one or more subtilisin variant described herein can be readily determined through procedures well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. The Examples presented infra describe methods for evaluating cleaning performance. In some embodiments, one or more subtilisin variant described herein has protease activity in the presence of a surfactant. In other embodiments, the surfactant is selected from the group consisting of a non-ionic surfactant, an anionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, a zwitterionic surfactant, an ampholytic surfactant, a semi-polar non-ionic surfactant, and a combination thereof.

In some embodiments, one or more subtilisin variant described herein demonstrates at least one improved property compared to a reference subtilisin. In some such embodiments, the one or more subtilisin variant demonstrates improved cleaning performance, improved stability, or both improved cleaning performance and improved stability compared to a reference subtilisin.

The term “enhanced stability” or “improved stability” in the context of an oxidation, chelator, denaturant, surfactant, thermal and/or pH stable protease refers to a higher retained proteolytic activity over time as compared to a reference protease, for example, a wild-type protease or parent protease. Autolysis has been identified as one mode of subtilisin activity loss in liquid detergents. (Stoner et al., 2004 Protease autolysis in heavy-duty liquid detergent formulations: effects of thermodynamic stabilizers and protease inhibitors, Enzyme and Microbial Technology 34:114-125).

The terms “thermally stable” and “thermostable” and “thermostability” with regard to a protease variant refers to a protease that retains a specified amount of enzymatic activity after exposure to identified temperatures over a given period of time under conditions (or “stress conditions”) prevailing during proteolytic, hydrolysing, cleaning or other process, while being exposed to altered temperatures. “Altered temperatures” encompass increased or decreased temperatures.

In some embodiments, the variant proteases provided herein retain at least about 40%, about 50%, about 60%, about 70%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 92%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, or about 99% proteolytic activity after exposure to temperatures of 50° C., 51° C., 52° C., 53° C., 54° C., 55° C., 56° C., 57° C., 58° C., 58° C., 59° C., or 60° C. over a given time period, for example, at least about 20 minutes, at least about 60 minutes, about 90 minutes, about 120 minutes, about 180 minutes, about 240 minutes, about 300 minutes, about 360 minutes, about 420 minutes, about 480 minutes, about 540 minutes, about 600 minutes, about 660 minutes, about 720 minutes, about 780 minutes, about 840 minutes, about 900 minutes, about 960 minutes, about 1020 minutes, about 1080 minutes, about 1140 minutes, or about 1200 minutes.

A still further embodiment is directed to one or more subtilisin variant described herein, in which the variant has a crème brûlée stain cleaning PI>1 when compared to the crème brûlée stain cleaning performance of a protease with an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1. Another embodiment is directed to one or more subtilisin variant described herein, in which the variant has a crème brûlée stain cleaning PI>1 when compared to the crème brûlée stain cleaning performance of a protease with an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, in which the crème brûlée stain cleaning performance of the variant and protease with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 is measured in accordance with the crème brûlée assay described in Example 2. In some such embodiments, the one or more subtilisin variant having a crème brulee stain cleaning PI>1 when compared to the crème brûlée stain cleaning performance of a protease with an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 is selected from the variants provided in Tables 7 and 9.

A still further embodiment is directed to one or more subtilisin variant described herein, in which the variant has an egg yolk stain cleaning PI>1 when compared to the egg yolk stain cleaning performance of a protease with an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1. Another embodiment is directed to one or more subtilisin variant described herein, in which the variant has an egg yolk stain cleaning PI>1 when compared to the egg yolk stain cleaning performance of a protease with an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, in which the egg yolk stain cleaning performance of the variant and protease with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 is measured in accordance with the egg yolk stain assay described in Example 2. In some such embodiments, the one or more subtilisin variant having an egg stain cleaning PI>1 when compared to the egg stain cleaning performance of a protease with an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 is selected from the variants provided in Tables 8, 10, and 11.

In some embodiments, one or more subtilisin variant described herein demonstrates cleaning performance in a cleaning composition. Cleaning compositions often include ingredients harmful to the stability and performance of enzymes, making cleaning compositions a harsh environment for enzymes, e.g. serine proteases, to retain function. Thus, it is not trivial for an enzyme to be put in a cleaning composition and expect enzymatic function (e.g. serine protease activity, such as demonstrated by cleaning performance). In some embodiments, one or more subtilisin variant described herein demonstrates cleaning performance in automatic dishwashing (ADW) detergent compositions. In some such embodiments, the one or more variants is selected from the group of variants listed in Tables 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. In some embodiments, the cleaning performance in automatic dishwashing (ADW) detergent compositions includes cleaning of egg yolk stains. In some embodiments, one or more subtilisin variant described herein demonstrates cleaning performance in laundry detergent compositions. In some embodiments, the cleaning performance in laundry detergent compositions includes cleaning of blood/milk/ink stains. In one or more cleaning composition described herein, one or more subtilisin variant described herein demonstrates cleaning performance with or without a bleach component.

In an even still further embodiment, one or more subtilisin variant described herein has one or more improved property when compared to a reference subtilisin; where the improved property is selected from improved cleaning performance in detergent, improved stability; and combinations thereof. In another embodiment, reference subtilisin comprises an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1. In yet another embodiment, the improved property is (i) improved cleaning performance in detergent, where the variant has a BMI, crème brûlée and/or egg stain cleaning PI>1; and/or (ii) improved stability, where the variant has a residual activity greater than the reference subtilisin. In still yet another embodiment, the cleaning performance in detergent is measured in accordance with the cleaning performance in laundry (HDL) and ADW detergents assay of Example 2; and/or the stability is measured in accordance with the stability assay of Example 2. In some such embodiments, the one or more variants is selected from the group of variants listed in Tables 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.

One or more subtilisin variant described herein can be subject to various changes, such as one or more amino acid insertion, deletion, and/or substitution, either conservative or non-conservative, including where such changes do not substantially alter the enzymatic activity of the polypeptide. Similarly, one or more nucleic acid described herein can also be subject to various changes, such as one or more substitutions of one or more nucleotides in one or more codons such that a particular codon encodes the same or a different amino acid, resulting in either a silent variation (e.g., when the encoded amino acid is not altered by the nucleotide mutation) or non-silent variation, one or more deletions of one or more nucleic acids (or codons) in the sequence, one or more additions or insertions of one or more nucleic acids (or codons) in the sequence, and/or cleavage of or one or more truncations of one or more nucleic acids (or codons) in the sequence. Many such changes in the nucleic acid sequence may not substantially alter the enzymatic activity of the resulting encoded polypeptide enzyme compared to the polypeptide enzyme encoded by the original nucleic acid sequence. One or more nucleic acid sequence described herein can also be modified to include one or more codons that provide for optimum expression in an expression system (e.g., bacterial expression system), while, if desired, said one or more codons still encode the same amino acid(s).

Some embodiments are directed to one or more polypeptide having the desired enzymatic activity (e.g., protease enzyme activity or cleaning performance activity) which comprise sequences having the amino acid substitutions and/or variations described herein and also which comprise one or more additional amino acid substitution or variation, such as conservative and non-conservative substitutions or variations, wherein the polypeptide exhibits, maintains, or approximately maintains the desired enzymatic activity (e.g., proteolytic activity). In some embodiments, the proteolytic activity is reflected in the cleaning activity or performance of one or more subtilisin variant described herein. For example, an amino acid substitution may include, but is not limited to, one or more non-conservative substitution, and/or one or more conservative amino acid substitution. A conservative amino acid residue substitution typically involves exchanging a member within one functional class of amino acid residues for a residue that belongs to the same functional class (conservative amino acid residues are considered functionally homologous or conserved in calculating percent functional homology). For example, alanine, glycine, serine, and threonine are functionally similar and thus may serve as conservative amino acid substitutions for one another. Aspartic acid and glutamic acid may serve as conservative substitutions for one another. Asparagine and glutamine may serve as conservative substitutions for one another. Arginine, lysine, and histidine may serve as conservative substitutions for one another. Isoleucine, leucine, methionine, and valine may serve as conservative substitutions for one another. Phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan may serve as conservative substitutions for one another.

Other conservative amino acid substitution groups can be envisioned. For example, amino acids can be grouped by similar function or chemical structure or composition (e.g., acidic, basic, aliphatic, aromatic, sulfur-containing). For instance, an aliphatic grouping may comprise: Glycine (G), Alanine (A), Valine (V), Leucine (L), Isoleucine (I). Other groups containing amino acids that are considered conservative substitutions for one another include: aromatic: Phenylalanine (F), Tyrosine (Y), Tryptophan (W); sulfur-containing: Methionine (M), Cysteine (C); Basic: Arginine (R), Lysine (K), Histidine (H); Acidic: Aspartic acid (D), Glutamic acid (E); non-polar uncharged residues, Cysteine (C), Methionine (M), and Proline (P); hydrophilic uncharged residues: Serine (S), Threonine (T), Asparagine (N), and Glutamine (Q). Additional groupings of amino acids are well-known to those of skill in the art and described in various standard textbooks. Listing of a polypeptide sequence herein, in conjunction with the above substitution groups, provides an express listing of all conservatively substituted polypeptide sequences.

More conservative substitutions exist within the amino acid residue classes described above, which also or alternatively can be suitable. Conservation groups for substitutions that are more conservative include: valine-leucine-isoleucine, phenylalanine-tyrosine, lysine-arginine, alanine-valine, and asparagine-glutamine.

Conservative substitutions or variations of one or more subtilisin variant described herein includes substitutions or variations of a small percentage, sometimes less than 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, or 1%, or less than 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 amino acid with a conservatively selected amino acid of the same conservative substitution group.

In such techniques, fragments of up to 50 or more nucleotide bases are typically synthesized, then joined (e.g., by enzymatic or chemical ligation methods) to form essentially any desired continuous nucleic acid sequence. The synthesis of the nucleic acids of the invention can be also facilitated by any suitable method known in the art, including but not limited to chemical synthesis using the classical phosphoramidite method (See e.g., Beaucage et al.

In even still yet a further embodiment, the subtilisin variant of (a) in the method for increasing the production of a subtilisin variant in a Gram positive bacterial host cell described hereinabove comprises an amino acid sequence with (i) 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or less than 100% amino acid sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1; (ii) 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or less than 100% amino acid sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1; or (iii) 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or less than 100% amino acid sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1.

An expression vector may be derived from plasmid or viral DNA, or in alternative embodiments, contains elements of both. Exemplary vectors include, but are not limited to pC194, pJH101, pE194, pHP13 (See, Harwood and Cutting [eds.], Chapter 3, Molecular Biological Methods for Bacillus, John Wiley & Sons [1990]; suitable replicating plasmids for B. subtilis include those listed on p. 92) See also, Perego, Integrational Vectors for Genetic Manipulations in B. subtilis, in Sonenshein et al., [eds.] B. subtilis and Other Gram-Positive Bacteria: Biochemistry, Physiology and Molecular Genetics, American Society for Microbiology, Washington, D.C. [1993], pp. 615-624), and p2JM103BBI.

For expression and production of a protein of interest (e.g., serine protease polypeptide) in a cell, at least one expression vector comprising at least one copy of a polynucleotide encoding the serine protease polypeptide, and in some instances comprising multiple copies, is transformed into the cell under conditions suitable for expression of the serine protease. In some embodiments, one or more polynucleotide sequence described herein (as well as other sequences included in the vector) is integrated into the genome of the host cell; while in other embodiments, a plasmid vector comprising one or more polynucleotide sequence described herein remains as autonomous extra-chromosomal element within the cell. The invention provides both extrachromosomal nucleic acid elements as well as incoming nucleotide sequences that are integrated into the host cell genome. One or more vector described herein is useful for producing one or more subtilisin variant described herein. In some embodiments, a polynucleotide construct encoding one or more subtilisin variant described herein is present on an integrating vector that enables the integration and optionally the amplification of the polynucleotide into the host chromosome. Examples of sites for integration are well known to those skilled in the art. In some embodiments, transcription of one or more polynucleotide described herein is effectuated by a promoter that is the wild-type promoter for the selected precursor protease. In other embodiments, the promoter is heterologous to the precursor protease, but is functional in the host cell. Examples of suitable promoters for use in bacterial host cells include, but are not limited to the amyE, amyQ, amyL, pstS, sacB, pSPAC, pAprE, pVeg, pHpaII promoters; the promoter of the B. stearothermophilus maltogenic amylase gene; the B. amyloliquefaciens (BAN) amylase gene; the B. subtilis alkaline protease gene; the B. clausii alkaline protease gene the B. pumilis xylosidase gene; the B. thuringiensis cryIIIA; and the B. licheniformis alpha-amylase gene. Additional promoters include, but are not limited to, the A4 promoter, as well as phage Lambda PR or PL promoters, and the E. coli lac, trp or tac promoters.

One or more subtilisin variant described herein can be produced in host cells of any suitable microorganism, including bacteria and fungi. In some embodiments, one or more subtilisin variant described herein can be produced in Gram-positive bacteria. In some embodiments, the host cells are Bacillus spp., Streptomyces spp., Escherichia spp., Aspergillus spp., Trichoderma spp., Pseudomonas spp., Corynebacterium spp., Saccharomyces spp., or Pichia spp. In some embodiments, one or more subtilisin variant described herein is produced by Bacillus sp. host cells. Examples of Bacillus sp. host cells include, but are not limited to B. licheniformis, B. lentus, B. subtilis, B. amyloliquefaciens, B. lentus, B. brevis, B. stearothermophilus, B. alkalophilus, B. coagulans, B. circulans, B. pumilis, B. thuringiensis, B. clausii, B. megaterium, Myceliopthera spp, and Yarrowia spp, as well as other organisms within the genus Bacillus. In some embodiments, B. subtilis host cells are used for production of serine protease polypeptides. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,264,366 and 4,760,025 (RE 34,606) describe various Bacillus host strains that can be used for producing one or more subtilisin variant described herein, although other suitable strains can be used.

Several bacterial strains that can be used to produce one or more subtilisin variant described herein include non-recombinant (i.e., wild-type) Bacillus sp. strains, as well as variants of naturally-occurring strains and/or recombinant strains. In some embodiments, the host strain is a recombinant strain, wherein a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide of interest has been introduced into the host. In some embodiments, the host strain is a B. subtilis host strain and particularly a recombinant B. subtilis host strain. Numerous B. subtilis strains are known, including, but not limited to for example, 1A6 (ATCC 39085), 168 (1A01), SB19, W23, Ts85, B637, PB1753 through PB1758, PB3360, JH642, 1A243 (ATCC 39,087), ATCC 21332, ATCC 6051, MI113, DE100 (ATCC 39,094), GX4931, PBT 110, and PEP 211strain (See e.g., Hoch et al., Genetics 73:215-228 [1973]; See also, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,450,235 and 4,302,544, and EP 0134048). The use of B. subtilis as an expression host cell is well known in the art (See e.g., Palva et al., Gene 19:81-87 [1982]; Fahnestock and Fischer, J. Bacteriol., 165:796-804 [1986]; and Wang et al., Gene 69:39-47 [1988]).

In some embodiments, the Bacillus host cell is a Bacillus sp. that includes a mutation or deletion in at least one of the following genes, degU, degS, degR and degQ. In some embodiments, the mutation is in a degU gene, and in some embodiments the mutation is degU(Hy)32 (See e.g., Msadek et al., J. Bacteriol. 172:824-834 [1990]; and Olmos et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 253:562-567 [1997]). In some embodiments, the Bacillus host comprises a mutation or deletion in scoC4 (See e.g., Caldwell et al., J. Bacteriol. 183:7329-7340 [2001]); spoIIE (See e.g., Arigoni et al., Mol. Microbiol. 31:1407-1415 [1999]); and/or oppA or other genes of the opp operon (See e.g., Perego et al., Mol. Microbiol. 5:173-185 [1991]). Indeed, it is contemplated that any mutation in the opp operon that causes the same phenotype as a mutation in the oppA gene will find use in some embodiments of the altered Bacillus strain of the invention. In some embodiments, these mutations occur alone, while in other embodiments, combinations of mutations are present. In some embodiments, an altered Bacillus host cell strain that can be used to produce one or more subtilisin variant described herein is a Bacillus host strain that already includes a mutation in one or more of the above-mentioned genes. In addition, Bacillus sp. host cells that comprise mutation(s) and/or deletions of endogenous protease genes find use. In some embodiments, the Bacillus host cell comprises a deletion of the aprE and the nprE genes. In other embodiments, the Bacillus sp. host cell comprises a deletion of 5 protease genes, while in other embodiments, the Bacillus sp. host cell comprises a deletion of 9 protease genes (See e.g., US2005/0202535).

Host cells are transformed with one or more nucleic acid described herein using any suitable method known in the art. Methods for introducing a nucleic acid (e.g., DNA) into Bacillus cells or E. coli cells utilizing plasmid DNA constructs or vectors and transforming such plasmid DNA constructs or vectors into such cells are well known. In some embodiments, the plasmids are subsequently isolated from E. coli cells and transformed into Bacillus cells. However, it is not essential to use intervening microorganisms such as E. coli, and in some embodiments, a DNA construct or vector is directly introduced into a Bacillus host.

Those of skill in the art are well aware of suitable methods for introducing one or more nucleic acid sequence described herein into Bacillus cells (See e.g., Ferrari et al., “Genetics,” in Harwood et al. [eds.], Bacillus, Plenum Publishing Corp. [1989], pp. 57-72; Saunders et al., J. Bacteriol. 157:718-726 [1984]; Hoch et al., J. Bacteriol. 93:1925-1937 [1967]; Mann et al., Current Microbiol. 13:131-135 [1986]; Holubova, Folia Microbiol. 30:97 [1985]; Chang et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 168:11-115 [1979]; Vorobjeva et al., FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 7:261-263 [1980]; Smith et al., Appl. Env. Microbiol. 51:634 [1986]; Fisher et al., Arch. Microbiol. 139:213-217 [1981]; and McDonald, J. Gen. Microbiol. 130:203 [1984]). Indeed, such methods as transformation, including protoplast transformation and transfection, transduction, and protoplast fusion are well known and suited for use herein. Methods known in the art to transform Bacillus cells include such methods as plasmid marker rescue transformation, which involves the uptake of a donor plasmid by competent cells carrying a partially homologous resident plasmid (See, Contente et al., Plasmid 2:555-571 [1979]; Haima et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 223:185-191 [1990]; Weinrauch et al., J. Bacteriol. 154:1077-1087 [1983]; and Weinrauch et al., J. Bacteriol. 169:1205-1211 [1987]). In this method, the incoming donor plasmid recombines with the homologous region of the resident “helper” plasmid in a process that mimics chromosomal transformation.

In addition to commonly used methods, in some embodiments, host cells are directly transformed with a DNA construct or vector comprising one or more nucleic acid described herein (i.e., an intermediate cell is not used to amplify, or otherwise process, the DNA construct or vector prior to introduction into the host cell). Introduction of one or more DNA construct or vector described herein into the host cell includes those physical and chemical methods known in the art to introduce a nucleic acid sequence (e.g., DNA sequence) into a host cell without insertion into the host genome. Such methods include, but are not limited to calcium chloride precipitation, electroporation, naked DNA, liposomes and the like. In additional embodiments, DNA constructs or vector are co-transformed with a plasmid, without being inserted into the plasmid. In further embodiments, a selective marker is deleted from the altered Bacillus strain by methods known in the art (See, Stahl et al., J. Bacteriol. 158:411-418 [1984]; and Palmeros et al., Gene 247:255-264 [2000]).

In some embodiments, the transformed cells described herein are cultured in conventional nutrient media. The suitable specific culture conditions, such as temperature, pH and the like are known to those skilled in the art and are well described in the scientific literature. In some embodiments, the invention provides a culture (e.g., cell culture) comprising one or more subtilisin variant described herein or one or more nucleic acid described herein.

In some embodiments, host cells transformed with one or more polynucleotide sequence described herein are cultured in a suitable nutrient medium under conditions permitting the expression of one or more subtilisin variant described herein, after which the resulting variant is recovered from the culture. In some embodiments, the variant produced by the cells is recovered from the culture medium by conventional procedures, including, but not limited to for example, separating the host cells from the medium by centrifugation or filtration, precipitating the proteinaceous components of the supernatant or filtrate by means of a salt (e.g., ammonium sulfate), chromatographic purification (e.g., ion exchange, gel filtration, affinity, etc.).

In some embodiments, a serine protease polypeptide produced by a recombinant host cell is secreted into the culture medium. A nucleic acid sequence that encodes a purification facilitating domain may be used to facilitate purification of proteins. A vector or DNA construct comprising a polynucleotide sequence encoding a serine protease polypeptide may further comprise a nucleic acid sequence encoding a purification facilitating domain to facilitate purification of the serine protease polypeptide (See e.g., Kroll et al., DNA Cell Biol. 12:441-53 [1993]). Such purification facilitating domains include, but are not limited to, for example, metal chelating peptides such as histidine-tryptophan modules that allow purification on immobilized metals (See, Porath, Protein Expr. Purif. 3:263-281 [1992]), protein A domains that allow purification on immobilized immunoglobulin, and the domain utilized in the FLAGS extension/affinity purification system. The inclusion of a cleavable linker sequence such as Factor XA or enterokinase (e.g., sequences available from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif.) between the purification domain and the heterologous protein also find use to facilitate purification.

Assays for detecting and measuring the enzymatic activity of an enzyme, such as one or more subtilisin variant described herein, are well known. Various assays for detecting and measuring activity of proteases (e.g., one or more subtilisin variant described herein), are also known to those of ordinary skill in the art. In particular, assays are available for measuring protease activity that are based on the release of acid-soluble peptides from casein or hemoglobin, measured as absorbance at 280 nm or colorimetrically using the Folin method. Other exemplary assays involve the solubilization of chromogenic substrates (See e.g., Ward, “Proteinases,” in Fogarty (ed.), Microbial Enzymes and Biotechnology, Applied Science, London, [1983], pp. 251-317).

There are a variety of wash conditions including varying detergent formulations, wash water volumes, wash water temperatures, and lengths of wash time, to which proteases involved in washing are exposed. A low detergent concentration system includes detergents where less than about 800 ppm of the detergent components are present in the wash water. A medium detergent concentration includes detergents where between about 800 ppm and about 2000 ppm of the detergent components are present in the wash water. A high detergent concentration system includes detergents where greater than about 2000 ppm of the detergent components are present in the wash water. In some embodiments, the “cold water washing” of the present invention utilizes “cold water detergent” suitable for washing at temperatures from about 10° C. to about 50° C., or from about 20° C. to about 40° C., or from about 15° C. to about 25° C., as well as all other combinations within the range of about 15° C. to about 35° C., and all ranges within 10° C. to 50° C.

Different geographies typically have different water hardness. Water hardness is usually described in terms of the grains per gallon mixed Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺. Hardness is a measure of the amount of calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium (Mg²⁺) in the water. Most water in the United States is hard, but the degree of hardness varies. Moderately hard (60-120 ppm) to hard (121-181 ppm) water has 60 to 181 parts per million.

Water Grains per gallon Parts per million Soft less than 1.0 less than 17 Slightly hard 1.0 to 3.5 17 to 60 Moderately hard 3.5 to 7.0  60 to 120 Hard  7.0 to 10.5 120 to 180 Very hard greater than 10.5 greater than 180

European water hardness is typically greater than about 10.5 (for example about 10.5 to about 20.0) grains per gallon mixed Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺ (e.g., about 15 grains per gallon mixed Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺). North American water hardness is typically greater than Japanese water hardness, but less than European water hardness. For example, North American water hardness can be between about 3 to about 10 grains, about 3 to about 8 grains or about 6 grains. Japanese water hardness is typically lower than North American water hardness, usually less than about 4, for example about 3 grains per gallon mixed Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺.

EXAMPLES

The following examples are provided to demonstrate and illustrate certain preferred embodiments and aspects of the present disclosure and should not be construed as limiting.

Example 1 Expression of B. gibsonii-Clade Subtilisin Variants

DNA manipulations to generate B. gibsonii-clade subtilisin variants were carried out using conventional molecular biology techniques (see, e.g., Sambrook et al, Molecular Cloning: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press). A series of artificial DNA sequences were generated, coding for mature B. gibsonii-clade subtilisin sequences that introduce multiple amino acid modifications into the sequence of the wildtype B. gibsonii-clade Bgi02446 protease (accession number AGS78407.1). All subtilisin variants were expressed and recovered as described below. The B. gibsonii-Glade is more fully described in International Patent Application No. PCT/US2014/070107, filed Jun. 17, 2016.

An artificial DNA sequence was generated coding for mature wildtype B. gibsonii-clade Bgi02446 protease (SEQ ID NO:1) and expressed in a suitable B. subtilis strain as described below.

For the expression of the WALB SP-2983 subtilisin (SEQ ID NO:8), a DNA fragment comprising: a 5′AprE flanking region that contains the B. subtilis P1 rrnI promoter sequence (SEQ ID NO:2) (the B. subtilis P1 rrnI promoter is more fully described in US-2014-0329309), the aprE signal peptide sequence (SEQ ID NO:3), the pro sequence from B. lentus (SEQ ID NO:4), the sequence corresponding to the gene for the B. gibsonii-Glade subtilisin variant WALBSP-2983 (SEQ ID NO:5), the BPN′ terminator (SEQ ID NO:6), the chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) gene expression cassette from S. aureus (SEQ ID NO:7) and the 3′AprE flanking sequence (SEQ ID NO:9), in consecutive order was assembled using standard molecular techniques. The amino acid sequence of the B. subtilis aprE signal peptide encoded by SEQ ID NO:3 is set forth as SEQ ID NO:10. The amino acid sequence of the pro sequence encoded by SEQ ID NO:4 is set forth as SEQ ID NO:11. The amino acid sequence of the protein encoded by the WALBSP-2983 gene is set forth as SEQ ID NO:8. This linear WALBSP-2983 expression cassette was used to transform 200 uL of competent B. subtilis cells of a suitable strain. The transformed cells were incubated at 37° C. for 1 hour while shaking at 250 rpm. The transformation mixture was plated onto LA plates containing 1.6% skim milk and 5 ppm chloramphenicol (CMP) and incubated overnight at 37° C. Single colonies were picked and grown in Luria broth+5 ppm CMP at 37° C. Strain samples were frozen at −80° C. with 20% glycerol for storage. Other B. gibsonii-Glade subtilisin variants were expressed by using the appropriate gene of interest in place of (SEQ ID NO:5).

For the expression of certain B. gibsonii Glade variants, the genomic DNA of the B. subtilis strain expressing WALBSP-2983 was isolated and used as a template to generate variants of the WALB SP-2983 mature protease region. A library of variants containing specific amino acid substitutions was created using a polymerase chain reaction with appropriate primer pairs, DNA template, and Q5 polymerase (New England Biolabs). These assembled fragments were used to transform competent B. subtilis cells and the transformants were handled as described above.

In some instances, the B. gibsonii-Glade subtilisins were produced in B. subtilis using an expression cassette consisting of the B. subtilis aprE promoter (SEQ ID NO:12), the B. subtilis aprE signal peptide sequence (SEQ ID NO:3), the B. lentus pro-sequence (SEQ ID NO:4), the mature protease sequences for each of the artificial sequences, and a BPN′ terminator (SEQ ID NO:6). The expression cassettes were cloned into replicating shuttle vectors and transformed into a suitable B. subtilis strain. The B. subtilis host strains transformed with the various pHYT plasmids, as described in WO2016205755 patent application, were cultivated in an enriched semi-defined media based on MOPs buffer, with urea as major nitrogen source, glucose as the main carbon source, and supplemented with 1% soytone for robust cell growth. After incubation, the secreted proteases were isolated from the growth medium by centrifugation and filtration. Clarified culture supernatants were used for assays and purification as described below.

The sequence of each B. gibsonii-clade subtilisin variant was confirmed by DNA sequence analysis. Protease samples for the studies described below were generated by culturing cells in selective growth medium in a 96-well MTP at 31° C. for 68 hours. Culture supernatant was prepared by centrifugation and filtration.

Example 2 Assays Protein Determination

The concentration of the B. gibsonii-clade proteases in culture supernatant was determined by UHPLC using a Zorbax 300 SB-C3 column and linear gradient of 0.1% Trifluoroacetic acid (Buffer A) and 0.07% Trifluoroacetic acid in Acetonitrile (Buffer B) and detection at 220 nm. Culture supernatants were diluted in 10 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM CaCl₂), 0.005% Tween80 for loading onto column. The protein concentration of the samples was calculated using a standard curve of the purified parent enzyme.

Protease Activity

The protease activity of parent and variants thereof was tested by measuring the hydrolysis of AAPF-pNA synthetic peptidic substrate or dimethyl casein (DMC). For the AAPF assay, the reagent solutions used were: 100 mM Tris pH 8.6, 10 mM CalCl₂, 0.005% Tween®-80 (Tris/Ca buffer) and 160 mM suc-AAPF-pNA in DMSO (suc-AAPF-pNA stock solution) (Sigma: S-7388). To prepare a working solution, 1 mL suc-AAPF-pNA stock solution was added to 100 mL Tris/Ca buffer and mixed. An enzyme sample was added to a microtiter plate (MTP) containing 1 mg/mL suc-AAPF-pNA working solution and assayed for activity at 405 nm over 3-5 min using a SpectraMax plate reader in kinetic mode at RT. The protease activity was expressed as mOD/min.

The reagent solutions used for the DMC assay were: 2.5% w/v DMC (Sigma C-9801) in 100 mM sodium carbonate buffer pH 9.5, 0.075% TNBSA (Thermo Scientific) in Reagent A. Reagent A: 45.4 g Na₂B₄O₇.10H₂0 in 15 mL 4 N NaOH to reach a final volume of 1000 mL in deionized water. Equal volumes of DMS substrate and TNBSA in Reagent A were mixed in MTPs and protease samples were added with slow missing. Activity was measured at 405 nm over 3 min using a SpectraMax plate reader in kinetic mode at RT.

Stability Assay in Tris-EDTA

Enzyme stability was measured in Tris-EDTA (50 mM Tris pH9; 1-5 mM EDTA; 0.005% Tween) buffered conditions. Percent residual activities were calculated by taking a ratio of the stressed to unstressed activity and multiplying by 100. Stability PIs were obtained by dividing the residual activity of the B. gibsonii-clade variant protease by that of the parent protease Bgi02446.

Automatic Dishwashing Cleaning Assays

Crème Brûlée stain: The cleaning performance of B. gibsonii-clade subtilisin variants on crème brûlée stain was tested by using DM10 melamine tiles prepared by CFT in Vlaardingen, the Netherlands as set forth herein. Crème brûlée on melamine tiles were prepared by CFT according to the IKW method set forth in “Recommendations for the Quality Assessment of the Cleaning Performance of Dishwasher Detergents (Part B, Update 2015)”, 9. Crème Brulee, IKW p46, Sofw Journal—142-06/16. (see, http://www.ikw.org/fileadmin/content/downloads/Haushaltspflege/2016_EQ_Dishwasher_Detergents_Part_B_Update_2015.pdf (last visited Dec. 14, 2016)) using either 1.7 or 2.5 g of material per tile.

The melamine tiles were used as a lid and tightly pressed onto a microtiter plate (MTP). 3 g/L of ADW detergent solution adjusted to 374 ppm water hardness and each enzyme sample were added to the MTP prior to attaching the melamine tile lid to the MTP. The volume capacity of the MTP, and therefore the volume of solution added thereto, may vary, wherein a minimal volume of solution that enables contact between solution and stain surface should be added to the MTP. In this example, a volume of 3004, of detergent containing enzyme was added to each well of an aluminum 96-well MTP. The MTPs were incubated in an Infors thermal shaker for 45 min at 40° C., unless otherwise specified, at 250 rpm. After incubation, the tiles were removed from the MTP and air-dried.

In some instances, stain removal was quantified using red, green and blue (RGB) measurements taken with a scanner (MiCrotek Scan Maker 900). Images were imported into Photoshop CSII to extract the RGB values from the stain areas using IPTK 5.0 software from Reindeer Graphics. In other instances, stain removal was quantified by photographing the plates and measuring the RGB values from each stain area using custom software.

Percent Soil removal (% SRI) values of the washed tiles were calculated by using the RGB values in the following formula:

% SRI=(ΔE/ΔE _(initial))*100

Where ΔE=SQR((R _(after) −R _(before))²+(G _(after) −G _(before))²+(B _(after) −B _(before))²)

Where ΔE=SQR((R _(white) −R _(before))²+(G _(white) −G _(before))²+(B _(white) −B _(before))²)

Cleaning performance was obtained by subtracting the value of a blank control (no enzyme) from each sample value (hereinafter “blank subtracted cleaning”). For each condition and B. gibsonii-clade subtilisin variant, a performance index (PI) was calculated by dividing the blank subtracted cleaning by that of the parent protease at the same concentration. The value for the parent protease PI was determined from a standard curve of the parent protease which was included in the test and which was fitted to a Langmuir fit or Hill Sigmoidal fit.

Egg yolk stain: The cleaning performance of B. gibsonii-clade subtilisin variants on egg yolk microswatches (PAS-38, Center for Testmaterials BV, Vlaardingen, Netherlands) was measured on pre-rinsed or unrinsed swatches. To prepare rinsed PAS38 swatches, 180 μl 10 mM CAPS buffer of pH 11 was added to MTPs containing PAS38 microswatches. The plates were sealed and incubated in an iEMS incubator for 30 min at 60° C. and 1100 rpm shaking. After this incubation, the buffer was removed and the swatches were rinsed with deionized water to remove any residual buffer. The plates were then air dried prior to use in the performance assay. The microswatch plates were filled with 3 g/l ADW detergent solution in 374 ppm water hardness prior to enzyme addition with a final enzyme concentration between 0.05 and 10 ppm.

Following incubation of PAS-38 swatches with detergents and enzymes for 30 minutes at 40° C., the absorbance was read at 405 nm using a SpectraMax plate reader. Absorbance results were obtained by subtracting the value for a blank control (no enzyme) from each sample value (hereinafter “blank subtracted absorbance”). For each condition and B. gibsonii-clade protease, a performance index (PI) was calculated by dividing the blank subtracted absorbance by that of the Bgi02446 parent protease at the same concentration.

Liquid Laundry Cleaning Assays

Variants were tested for cleaning performance relative to parent on various technical soils: BMI (EMPA-116, blood/milk/ink on cotton) stain. The BMI swatches were pre-rinsed with deionized water for 20 minutes and dried overnight at room temperature. Pre-punched swatches in MTP plates (Costar 9017 or Greiner 655101) were prepared by Center for Testmaterials BV, Vlaardingen, Netherlands. These microswatch-containing plates were filled with detergent prior to enzyme addition. Aliquots of enzyme were added to detergent-filled MTPs containing microswatches to reach a final volume of 180 microliters for laundry assays with a final enzyme concentration between 0.05-10 ppm. Laundry cleaning assays were carried out at 25° C. for 20 min. Following incubation, 100-150 uL of supernatant was transferred to a fresh MTP and absorbance was read at 600 nm using a SpectraMax plate reader. Absorbance results were obtained by subtracting the value for a blank control (no enzyme) from each sample value. The cleaning PI for each assay condition was obtained by dividing the absorbance values for a given variant by that of the Parent, tested at the same concentration. The Parent PI value was determined by fitting the standard curve of the purified Parent sample to a Langmuir fit.

Detergents

Various detergent formulas were used as listed below. Automatic dishwashing (ADW) cleaning assays were performed using the following detergents at the final concentrations shown in brackets: GSM-B detergent (3 g/L) (GSM-B Phosphate-free ADW detergent purchased without enzymes from WFK Testgewebe GmbH, Brüggen, Deutschland (www.testgewebe.de), composition shown on Table 1), MGDA detergent (3 g/L) (composition shown on Table 2), ADW model detergent A (3.34 g/L) (composition shown on Table 3), ADW model detergent B (3.18 g/L) (composition shown on Table 4) and ADW model detergent C (3.26 g/L) (composition shown on Table 5).

Laundry (HDL) cleaning assays were performed using Persil Small & Mighty Non-Bio Liquid Detergent “Persil Non-Bio” (PNB, Unilever) purchased in 2014 from local supermarkets. The HDL detergents Persil Non-Bio, and CNS are considered boron-free since they contained ≤5 mg/Kg of boron, when tested for elemental boron content. HDL assays were conducted at a final detergent concentration of 2.7 g/L, at 200-500 ppm water hardness and pH was adjusted to 8.2 using 5 mM HEPES buffer.

Example 3 The Productivity of Various B. gibsonii-Clade Subtilisin Variants

B. gibsonii-clade subtilisin variants listed below in Table 6 were produced as set forth for WALB SP-2983 in Example 1. The amino acid substitutions of the variants are set forth relative to B. gibsonii-clade Bgi02446 wild-type (SEQ ID NO:1). The concentration of each variant in culture supernatant was determined by UHPLC as described above in Example 2. The protein concentration of the samples was calculated based on a standard curve of the purified parent enzyme (Bgi02446 wild-type). The protein concentration of each variant containing the N242D mutation is set forth in Table 6, expressed as a PI value. The PI value was calculated by dividing the protein concentration of the variant containing the N242D mutation by the protein concentration of the variant without the N242D mutation.
